With #Redskins WR Jamison Crowder (sprained ankle) out a few weeks, the team promoted practice squad WR Jehu Chesson to their active roster. Crowder’s MRI did provide some good news, as it’s not an extended absence.

Adrian Peterson (ankle/shoulder) was limited in practice Thursday, but says he's feeling a "night and day" difference from last week.

Shawn Lauvao (calf) was limited Thursday and needs to practice Friday to be a go for Sunday's game. But Jay Gruden remains optimistic that will happen.

Jay Gruden said he’s optimistic that Shawn Lauvao (calf) will play Sunday. But Gruden said key day is Friday. Lauvao has been limited so If he can’t practice he won’t play. He would start at LG if ready.

Chris Thompson (rib/knee) was very limited and didn't seem to be going full speed in drills, according to Hoffman. Friday is the big test for him. If he practices, he'll be a go for Sunday against the Cowboys. If he remains limited, bad news.

Paul Richardson (shoulder/knee) also did not practice Thursday.

Richardson is battling but his knee is a problem. They’re monitoring it and hopefully it continues to heal this week but it gets worse when he plays obviously.
